Anyone know what the condition of the road into Enchanted Tower is like now? Heard it was regraded since last fall, but wondering how it fared monsoon season. Would love to know whether to attempt it over Labor Day weekend or not in a subaru or monster truck....
Thanks!

Not too bad from what I've heard. Seems like a suby will still make it.

Enjoy the crowds!

The back way in a Volvo?

That's cool..i've been toying with the idea of taking my AWD Toyota Matrix back there. I think it can make it...clearance ain't so good but if i pick my line i think it should be ok.

Went this weekend. The road is okay. If you're careful and maybe get out to move a couple rocks you should make it just fine in a subaru or your awd toyota. Lots of loose rocks so keep moving up the steeps if you go in with 2wd!

yea, just be careful. It can be tedious, we had to stop to let the tranny cool down on the way up the hill.
